| Tekton Double Impacts Just wanted to share,My hunch all along was that the superlative sound I was getting with the Triode Lab SET 2A3 amplifier was based on the synergy between it and the Micro-ZOTL preamplifier. The 2A3 provided the timbres/colors, "meat on the bone... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Charlies,I have owned for over 30 years Nelson Pass's wonderful amplifiers ( Threshold SA-1's, Aleph 1's, XA-60.5's, XA-60.8's, SET-2) and loved them all. Each generation of his great creations got better and came closer to what tubes have to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Werther,That's a great question. Without copping out here's my answer. Either amp driven by the Micro-ZOTL on both speakers are superlative in their performance across the sonic spectrum ( Timbres/color, micro-details, sweet extended highs, ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys, Great news! I purchased a matched pair of JJ Blue Glass KT-88's, cost $120.00, and cannot tell the difference between their sonics and the much more expensive Shuguang tubes. I have total trust in Brent Jesse, who's opinion was that th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,I was just sharing with Mike Kay (Audio Archon) what magic I was hearing all day long with these Shuguag KT-88 tubes in the AricAudio SET amplifier driving the Ulf's. It dawned on me during our conversation the best way to explain what I... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey mac48025,Ezra had gotten these tubes about 5 to 7 years ago. I don't know if Shuguag still even makes this version. I'll try to find out. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,Just spent over four hours listening to the Ulfberht's being driven by the AricAudio SET KT-88 amplifier/Micro-ZOTL combo with one difference. I had being running a pair Tung-Sol KT-120 tubes with superlative results in my system. This... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Micheal,My remark meant no disrespect to you, or Allan, at all. My statement regarding other individual's systems being played to loud for my taste was not directed at you at all, but at others. Correct, the times I have had the pleasure to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Totally agree with Kenny's opinion/position on what happens as you go up in power/watts on the DI's, and the Ulf's, slight changes in bass presentation, nothing radical regarding over "aliveness" dynamics and clear differences in tonality/color de... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,Regarding Zero Fidelty's take that the DI's are great in a lot of ways, but are not really at the same level of performance as 20 to 30 thousand dollar speakers, well, I sold off my 19K speakers and I know two other reviewers who sold off... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey vitop,I'm sorry I won't be able to provide information on disruptive gear in the video processor/muli-channel amplifier areas because I only review two channel audio gear. I would love to review the mini-Ulf's if Eric would chose me to do it.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Based on my experience reviewing the Ulfbreht's the DI SE's will be a significant refinement over the DI's because of much higher grade drivers and internal parts. I do not believe Eric would come out with another model unless he was convinced he... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey everybody, The Ulfberht's are a significant step above the DI's in their performance, yes I know they cost 9K more, so my is hunch with better drivers and internal parts the DI SE will be a more refined/higher level performer then the DI's. E... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Forgot to mention that the AricAUDIO SET KT-120 amplifier is a powerhouse SET putting out 20 watts per channel. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Gentleman,I very highly recommend that you put on your short list of very affordable hand made SET amplifiers, the AricAUDIO Transend Series SET KT-120 amplifier. Kenny had already mentioned on the thread that he was having Aric build him a custo... |
